Bill Maher: GOP Is Made Up Of 'Magical Thinkers' Who Mistake 'Superstition For Science'

Bill Maher concluded his show tonight by going after the Republican party for taking positions that he argued are just fantasies that have no place in serious political discussion. He used the recent comments by Congressman Todd Akin to argue that the GOP frequently mistakes “superstition for science” and they do not have “grown-up answer[s]” to important economic issues.

After dismissing Akin as an “asshole,” Maher argued that the Republican party as a whole is a party of “fantasy.” He said that it is not a big leap to think that fundamentalist Christian politicians who believe in creationism also believe in “tiny ninja warriors” inside every woman that “lie in wait for bad people’s sperm.”
